JUNE 2020: Summer is Rapidly Approaching

Automatically people equate June with Summer; the weather becomes warmer and by now most children have finished their school year. June is known for the having the most wedding ceremonies, and how ironic that the month of June’s flower is the ROSE. The birthstone(s) for June are the Alexandrite, typically a reddish or green colored stone.  June is also known for Flag Day Celebrations and National Safety Month.

More importantly, this month represents and marks one of the most important achievements in the USA history as Juneteenth (June 19, 1866) is celebrated, which marks the end of Slavery.  During the month of June, we observe and appreciate African American Music with Black Music Month. It’s another time to recognize the talent and creative genius of African American people and their contribution to the enrichment to our culture and society.

While the U. S. has come a long way toward stomping out racial prejudice and discrimination, there is much more improvement needed. There was a terrible incident of Police brutalityin Minneapolis with the horrible killing of an African American named George Floyd.  This incident set in motion protests throughout the U.S. and around the world.  There is still so much more work to be done to achieve equality and fairness with in the justice system.
